High resolution PDF format digital editions of Caerdroia 54 are available for £6 to readers elsewhere in the world via our Digital Order page.

* Unfortunately, as a consequence of the UK government choosing to withdraw from the European Union, we are no longer able to send printed copies of Caerdroia to addresses in Europe. Current customs procedures and collection fees imposed on small packages sent from the UK make it unfeasible to process orders to Europe.

Similarly, the imposition of tariffs on the import of goods to the USA and the uncertainty of customs procedures make it impossible to mail Caerdroia to the USA at this time. Hopefully the ridiculous bureaucracy that is now interfering with trade and the exchange of knowledge will be reversed in the future and normal service can be resumed in due course.

Likewise, the cost of mailing the journal elsewhere in the world has now become a burden on our limited resources, so we are only able to offer the journal in digital format going forward - we trust you will understand, but if you especially require a printed copy, ask us for details.
